- Example: Research on Filipino nursing practices, particularly herbal medicine.
- Sebastien (2016) describes descriptive theories as propositions that depict reality, including explanations and predictions.
Explanatory Theories
- Focus on relationships between concepts, detailing cause-and-effect dynamics.
- Example: Study on factors affecting newborns with Failure to Thrive (FTT), characterized by insufficient weight gain.
- FTT is assessed by comparing weight against age standards or weight increase rates.
